Op-ed:
The media blows it yet again
By: Diane Sori

I cannot believe what I heard on FOX
yesterday morning. FOX News, the supposedly conservative network,
did something so stupid I'm almost at a loss for words...for FOX
announced on national television the Benghazi whistleblowers names,
thus putting them and their families in danger of being forced into
silence by this miserable administration.
FOX reporter Chad Pergram tweeted, and FOX reported, the names of the Benghazi whistleblowers earlier released by The House Oversight Committee (another stupid move) as being Gregory Hicks, deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Libya at the time of the September assault; Mark Thompson, former Marine and deputy coordinator for operations at the State Department’s Counterterrorism Bureau; and Eric Nordstrom, the former top security officer in Libya....for all to hear. (I only repeat the names here because they have now become part of the public record.)
And FOX repeated those names over and over during their programs throughout the day and night.
NOT good...NOT good at all, and it gets
worse for even committee chair Darrel Issa, whose House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee is before whom the whistleblowers will
testify, issued a statement that read, the three
men have "critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key
points from what Administration officials...have portrayed."
What the hell are these supposedly 'on
our side' people thinking!
Why don't they just put a bullseye on
these brave men for in reality, letting this 'should have been kept
secret until the time of testimony' information leak out, these men
and their families now become sitting targets for all in this
administration who fear the truth getting out.
That means above all else Barack
HUSSEIN Obama and Hillary Clinton...the two biggest traitors to
America in recent history.
Logic would have one believe that with
these testimonies being so critical to getting to the truth about
what happened the night of September 11, 2012, that secrecy and
protecting the identity of these men would be paramount above all
else, especially for Eric Nordstrom who testified before the House
Oversight Committee back in October, saying that his superiors
opposed his efforts to build up security in Benghazi prior to the
attack, leading Nordstrom to angrily declare "for me, the
Taliban is on the inside of the [State Department] building."
How right Eric Nordstrom was in October
and how right he is now.
And with x-number of days still to go
before these men testify, the Obama administration, and all those who
orbit around 'the anointed one', will have time to pull supposedly
'legal' but in reality 'illegal' maneuvers, issue veiled threats, and
circulate lies and innuendos concerning these men and their families
in an all out effort to, if NOT silence these men completely, to at
least discredit their testimony before they even appear before the
Oversight Committee .
And you know damn well they will do all
of the above, because that's how the Obama administration operates
against those who dare oppose them....against those who demand the
truth from the most non-transparent lying administration in our country's history.
In fact, its already been reported that these whistleblowers, and
others who wanted to come forward and speak out, have already been
threatened with retaliation, including losing their career jobs, thus
prevented some from coming forward, something the State Department
has denied.
Like we can believe anything the former
Hillary Clinton and the now John 'Swiftboat' Kerry State Department
says.
All we can hope for now is that as the
days tick down to this all important testimony is that these brave men and
their families remain safe...that they stand strong against what we
all know Obama and his people will try to pull...and above all else
that their testimony...the truth...starts the dominoes falling,
because once one falls, once one person involved in Benghazi is
discredited and proven to be a liar, they will all fall one by one.
And that is something that will make a difference....hear that Hillary.
And maybe, just maybe, Barack HUSSEIN
Obama will get his just desserts (arrest, try, and convict for
treason) in the end, and Hillary Clinton can kiss 2016 good-bye as
off to jail she will go. That is if the media, including FOX News,
shuts their BIG mouths and stops calling attention to the very men
who could bring about the downfall of this miserable excuse of a
president and his equally miserable former Secretary of State.
Fox was the only network that did any digging into the Benghazi attacks. I don't think that FOX did anything wrong by releasing the names of the whistle-blowers. FOX did this country a favor by doing that because it forces the other networks to cover and discuss Benghazi.
ReplyDeleteWhile it does that it also puts their lives in danger as this administration is capable of anything.
DeleteDiane...there is a 72 hour in advance requirement, for releasing the names of witnesses...this became public info on May 3rd in order to comply with that requirement!!! HUSTUSA
DeleteWhistle-blowers lives are always in danger whether their names are mentioned or not....it's always been like that in the history of our government
ReplyDeleteYou might be right about that but this administation has more 'funny business' going on in it tn any other administration that came before
DeleteWe cannot complain that all of the news should be reported regardless of the particular network's 'agenda' and then pick and choose which news they should report, just as we cannot complain about the administration's ignoring the parts of the Constitution they don't like. Reporters should simply report the news...meaning ALL of the news.
ReplyDeleteOnce these names were out there in even just one place, the administration had the names, it doesn't matter if they were only mentioned 1 time someplace or over and over. ~ SJ Husak At Large - CONSERVATIVE SPOKEN HERE https://www.facebook.com/s.j.hUSAk
I agree and don't agree at the same time. By anyone reporting their names it did put them and there families in danger, and the problem with FOX reporting it is their numbers reach. Whistleblowers need to be protected at all costs.
DeleteI am glad fox reported it. The boston marathon is another cover up. That whole tasernaev family is horrid.
ReplyDeleteOooooops...thanks and its been corrected.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Diane. It used to be that if someone let something like that leak in the past, they were tried for treason. Now it seems like all the stops are off. My question is, if there was a leak, was it really a leak, or do you think there is someone inside Fox who could be facilitating this administration?
ReplyDeleteDon't know if this comment will label me as Anonymous2, so I did.
Personally, I think there is a traitor in FOX as the only ones on FOX I really trust are Hannity, Malkin, and Krathhamer. Many of the others, like Greta and O'Reily, play both sides and it's sickening.
DeleteFirst it was we cannot comment until the investigation is over and then when it was over...... “What difference does it make at this point” says Hillary, the next president of the United States?
ReplyDeleteBenghazi will end Hillary's dream of being POTUS.
DeleteMaybe putting the names out there is a GOOD THING----now we ALL know who they are and the adminsitration can't do any harm to them witout ALL of us knowing it!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty safe but NOT their family members. They should have held the names at least until tomorrow but that's just my opinion.
